Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Commands:
Si Through Z


This chapter presents the commands to configure and maintain Cisco IOS voice, video, and fax applications. The commands are presented in alphabetical order beginning with Si. Some commands required for configuring voice, video, and fax may be found in other Cisco IOS command references. Use the command reference master index or search online to find these commands.

For detailed information on how to configure these applications and features, refer to the Cisco IOS Voice, Video, and Fax Configuration Guide.

signal

To specify the type of signaling for a voice port, use the signal command in voice-port configuration mode. To restore the default value for this command, use the no form of this command.

FXO and FXS Voice Ports

signal {loop-start | ground-start}

no signal {loop-start | ground-start}

E&M Voice Ports

signal {wink-start | immediate | delay-dial}

no signal {wink-start | immediate | delay-dial}

Syntax Description

loop-start

Specifies loop start signaling. Used for Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) and Foreign Exchange Station (FXS) interfaces. With loop start signaling only one side of a connection can hang up. This is the default setting for FXO and FXS voice ports.

ground-start

Specifies ground start signaling. Used for FXO and FXS interfaces. Ground start signalling allows both sides of a connection to place a call and to hang up.

wink-start

Indicates that the calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E-lead then waits for a short off-hook "wink" indication on its M-lead from the called side before sending address information as dual tone multifrequency (DTMF) digits. Used for E&M tie trunk interfaces. This is the default setting for E&M voice ports.

immediate

Indicates that the calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E-lead and sends address information as DTMF digits. Used for E&M tie trunk interfaces.

delay-dial

Indicates that the calling side seizes the line by going off-hook on its E-lead. After a timing interval, the calling side looks at the supervision from the called side. If the supervision is on-hook, the calling side starts sending information as DTMF digits; otherwise, the calling side waits until the called side goes on-hook and then starts sending address information. Used for E&M tie trunk interfaces.


Defaults

Loop-start for FXO and FXS interfaces; wink-start for E&M interfaces.

Command Modes

Voice-port configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

11.3(1)T

This command was introduced on the Cisco 3600 series routers.


Usage Guidelines

This command applies to analog voice ports only.

Configuring the signal command for an FXO or FXS voice port changes the signal value for both voice ports on a voice port module (VPM) card.


Note If you change the signal type for an FXO voice port on Cisco 3600 series routers, you need to move the appropriate jumper in the voice interface card of the voice network module. For more information about the physical characteristics of the voice network module, refer to the installation documentation, Voice Network Module and Voice Interface Card Configuration Note, that came with your voice network module.


Configuring this command for an E&M voice port changes only the signal value for the selected voice port. In either case, the voice port must be shut down and then activated before the configured values will take effect.

Some PBXs will miss initial digits if the E&M voice port is configured for Immediate signaling. If this occurs, use Delay-Dial signaling instead. Some non-Cisco devices have a limited number of DTMF receivers. This type of equipment must delay the calling side until a DTMF receiver is available.

Examples

The following example configures ground start signaling on the Cisco 3600 series as the signaling type for a voice port, which means that both sides of a connection can place a call and hang up:

voice-port 1/1/1
 signal ground-start

signal keepalive

To configure the keepalive signaling packet interval for Cisco trunks and FRF.11 trunks, use the signal keepalive command in voice-class configuration mode. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

signal keepalive number

no signal keepalive number

Syntax Description

number

Specifies the keepalive signaling packet interval, in seconds. The valid range is from 1 to 65,535.


Defaults

A keepalive packet is sent every 5 seconds.

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)T.

12.1(3)T

This command was first supported on the Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers.


Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the keepalive signaling interval, you must use the voice class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. The voice class must then be assigned to a dial peer.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, sets the keepalive signaling interval to 3 seconds for voice class 10.

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T.

12.1(3)T

This command was first supported on the Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers.


Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the signaling pattern, you must use the voice-class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. After you define the voice class, you assign it to a dial peer.

Idle Patterns

An idle state is generated if the router detects an idle signaling pattern coming from either direction. If an idle pattern is configured for only one direction (transmit or receive), an idle state can be detected only in the configured direction. Therefore, you should normally enter both the idle receive and the idle transmit keywords.

To suppress voice packets whenever the transmit or receive trunk is in the idle state, use the idle receive and idle transmit keywords in conjunction with the signal timing idle suppress-voice command.

OOS Patterns

An OOS state is generated differently in each direction under the following conditions:

If the router detects an oos transmit signaling pattern sent from the PBX, the router transmits the oos transmit signaling pattern to the network.

If the signal timing oos timeout timer expires and the router receives no signaling packets from the network (network is OOS), the router sends an oos receive signaling pattern to the PBX. (The oos receive pattern is not matched against the signaling packets received from the network; the receive packets indicate an OOS condition directly by setting the AIS alarm indication bit in the packet.)

To suppress voice packets whenever the transmit or receive trunk is in the OOS state, use the oos receive and oos transmit keywords in conjunction with the signal timing oos suppress-voice command.

To suppress voice and signaling packets whenever the transmit or receive trunk is in the OOS state, use the oos receive and oos transmit keywords in conjunction with the signal timing oos suppress-all command.

PBX Busyout

To "busy out" a PBX if the network connection fails, set the oos receive pattern to match the seized state (busy), and set the signal timing oos timeout value. When the timeout value expires and no signaling packets have been received, the router will send the oos receive pattern to the PBX.

Use the busy seized pattern only if the PBX does not have a specified pattern for indicating an OOS state. If the PBX has a specific OOS pattern, use that pattern instead.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, configures the signaling bit pattern for the idle receive and transmit states:

voice class permanent 10 
 signal keepalive 3 
 signal pattern idle receive 0101 
 signal pattern idle transmit 0101 
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, configures the signaling bit pattern for the out-of-service receive and transmit states:

voice class permanent 10 
 signal keepalive 3 
 signal pattern oos receive 0001 
 signal pattern oos transmit 0001
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

The following example restores default signaling bit patterns for the receive and transmit idle states:

voice class permanent 10 
 signal keepalive 3 
 signal timing idle suppress-voice 
 no signal pattern idle receive  
 no signal pattern idle transmit  
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

The following example configures non-default signaling bit patterns for the receive and transmit out-of-service states:

voice class permanent 10 
 signal keepalive 3 
 signal pattern oos receive 0001 
 signal pattern oos transmit 0001
 exit
dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

12.1(3)T

This command was first supported on the Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers.


Usage Guidelines

Before configuring the signal timing idle suppress-voice timer, you must use the voice class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. The voice class must then be assigned to a dial peer.

The signal timing idle suppress-voice command is used when the signal-type command is set to transparent in the dial peer for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk connection. The router stops sending voice packets when the timer expires. Signaling packets are still sent.

To detect an idle trunk state, the router or concentrator monitors both transmit and receive signaling for the idle transmit and idle receive signaling patterns. These can be configured by the signal pattern idle transmit or signal pattern idle receive command, or they can be the defaults. The default idle receive pattern is the idle pattern of the local voice port. The default idle transmit pattern is the idle pattern of the far-end voice port.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, sets the signal timing idle suppress-voice timer to 5 seconds for the idle state on voice class 10.

voice class permanent 10
 signal keepalive 3 
 signal pattern idle receive 0101 
 signal pattern idle transmit 0101 
 signal timing idle suppress-voice 5
 exit
 dial-peer voice 100 vofr
 voice-class permanent 10

12.0(3)XG

This command was introduced on the Cisco MC3810 series.

12.0(4)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.0(4)T.

12.1(3)T

This command was first supported on the Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers.


Usage Guidelines

Before configuring signal timing OOS parameters, you must use the voice class permanent command in global configuration mode to create a voice class for the Cisco trunk or FRF.11 trunk. After you finish defining the voice class, you assign it to a dial peer.

The signal timing oos suppress-all command is valid only if you configure an OOS transmit signaling pattern with the signal pattern oos transmit command. (There is no default oos transmit signaling pattern.)

The signal timing oos suppress-all command is valid whether or not the signal timing oos timeout command is enabled, which controls the start time for the OOS state. The timer for the signal timing oos suppress-all command starts immediately when the OOS transmit signaling pattern is matched.

Examples

The following example, beginning in global configuration mode, creates voice class 10, sets the OOS timeout time to 60 seconds, and sets the packet suppression time to 60 seconds:

voice-class permanent 10
 signal-keepalive 3 
 signal pattern oos receive 0001 
 signal pattern oos transmit 0001 
 signal timing oos timeout 60
 signal timing oos suppress-all 60

signal timing oos timeout [seconds | disabled]

no signal timing oos timeout

Syntax Description

seconds

(Optional) Delay duration, in seconds, between the loss of signaling packets and the beginning of the OOS state. The default is 30 seconds. The range is from 1 to 65,535.

disabled

(Optional) Deactivates the detection of packet loss. If no signaling packets are received from the network, the router does not sent an OOS pattern to the PBX and it continues sending voice packets to the network. Use this option to disable busyout to the PBX.


Defaults

No signal timing OOS pattern parameters are configured.

signal-type {cas | cept | ext-signal | transparent}

no signal-type

Syntax Description

cas

North American EIA-464 channel-associated signaling (robbed bit signaling).

If the Digital T1 Packet Voice Trunk Network Module is installed, this option might not be available.

cept

Provides a basic E1 ABCD signaling protocol. Used primarily for E&M interfaces. When used with FXS/FXO interfaces, this protocol is equivalent to MELCAS.

ext-signal

External signaling. The digital signal processor (DSP) does not generate any signaling frames. Use this option when there is an external signaling channel, for example, CCS, or when you need to have a permanent "dumb" voice pipe.

transparent

On the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator, selecting this option produces different results depending on whether you are using a digital voice module (DVM) or an analog voice module (AVM).

For a DVM: The ABCD signaling bits are copied from or transported through the T1/E1 interface "transparently" without modification or interpretation. This enables the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator to handle arbitrary or unknown signaling protocols.

For an AVM: It is not possible to provide "transparent" behavior because the Cisco MC3810 must interpret the signaling information in order to read and write the correct state to the analog hardware. This option is mapped to be equal to cas.

cas

In previous releases, the cept and transparent keywords were supported only on the Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator. Beginning in this release, these keywords are supported on the Cisco 2600, 3600 and 7200 series routers.

12.1(2)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(2)T.


Usage Guidelines

This command applies to Voice over Frame Relay (VoFR) and Voice over ATM (VoATM) dial peers. It is used with permanent connections only (Cisco trunks and FRF.11 trunks), not with switched calls.

This command is used to inform the local telephony interface of the type of signaling it should expect to receive from the far-end dial peer. To turn signaling off at this dial peer, select the ext-signal option. If signaling is turned off and there are no external signaling channels, a "hot" line exists, enabling this dial peer to connect to anything at the far end.

When you connect an FXS to another FXS, or if you have anything other than an FXS/FXO or E&M/E&M pair, the appropriate signaling type on Cisco 2600 series and 3600 series routers is ext-signal (disabled).

If you have a digital E1 connection at the remote end that is running cept/MELCAS signaling and you then trunk that across to an analog port, you should make sure that you configure both ends for the cept signal type.

If you have a T1 or E1 connection at both ends and the T1/E1 is running a signaling protocol that is neither EIA-464, or cept/MELCAS, you might want to configure the signal type for the transparent option in order to pass through the signaling.

Examples

The following example shows how to disable signaling on a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router or on a Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator for VoFR dial peer 200, starting from global configuration mode:

dial-peer voice 200 vofr
 signal-type ext-signal

12.0(7)XR

This command was introduced.

12.1(1)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)T.


Usage Guidelines

You can configure a maximum of two sessions, one for each signaling link. In a redundant Media Gateway Controller configuration, session-0 is configured to one MGC and session-1 is configured to the other.

The Media Gateway Controller must be configured to send messages to the local port, and it must be configured to listen on the remote port.

You must reload the router whenever you remove a session or change the parameters of a session.

Examples

The following example sets up two sessions on a Cisco 2611:

ss7 session-0 address 255.251.255.255 7000 255.255.255.254 7000
ss7 session-1 address 255.255.255.252 7002 255.255.255.254 7001

Note The example above shows how the local IP addresses in session-0 and session-1 must be the same.

12.0(7)XR

This command was introduced.

12.1(1)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)T.


Usage Guidelines

The cumulative acknowledgment timer determines when the receiver sends an acknowledgment. If the timer is not already running, it is initialized when a valid data, null, or reset segment is received. When the cumulative acknowledgment timer expires, the last in-sequence segment is acknowledged. The RUDP typically tries to "piggyback" acknowledgments on data segments being sent. However, if no data segment is sent in this period of time, it sends a standalone acknowledgment.

Examples

The following example sets up two sessions and sets the cumulative acknowledgment timer to 320 milliseconds for each one:

ss7 session-0 address 255.255.255.251 7000 255.255.255.254 7000
ss7 session-0 cumack_t 320

Modification

12.0(7)XR

This command was introduced.

12.1(1)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)T.


Usage Guidelines

The null segment timer determines when a null segment (keepalive) is sent by the client Cisco 2600 series router. On the client, the timer starts when the connection is established and is reset each time a data segment is sent. If the null segment timer expires, the client sends a keepalive to the server to verify that the connection is still functional. On the server, the timer restarts each time a data or null segment is received from the client.

The value of the server's null segment timer is twice the value configured for the client. If no segments are received by the server in this period of time, the connection is no longer valid.

To disable keepalive, set this parameter to 0.

Examples

The following example sets up two sessions and sets a keepalive of 1,800 milliseconds for each one:

ss7 session-0 address 255.255.255.251 7000 255.255.255.254 7000

12.1(1)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)T.


Usage Guidelines

The cumulative acknowledgment counter records the number of unacknowledged, in-sequence data, null, or reset segments received without a data, null, or reset segment being sent to the transmitter. If this counter reaches the configured maximum, the receiver sends a standalone acknowledgment (a standalone acknowledgment is a segment that contains only acknowledgment information). The standalone acknowledgment contains the sequence number of the last data, null, or reset segment received.

If you set this parameter to 0, an acknowledgment is sent immediately after a data, null, or reset segment is received.

Examples

The following example sets up two sessions and in each session sets a maximum of two segments for receipt before acknowledgment:

ss7 session-0 address 255.255.255.251 7000 255.255.255.254 7001

12.1(1)T

This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(1)T.


Usage Guidelines

The out-of-sequence acknowledgment counter records the number of data segments that have arrived out of sequence. If this counter reaches the configured maximum, the receiver sends an extended acknowledgment segment that contains the sequence numbers of the out-of-sequence data, null, and reset segments received. When the transmitter receives the extended acknowledgment segment, it retransmits the missing data segments.

If you set this parameter to 0, an acknowledgment is sent immediately after an out-of-sequence segment is received.

Examples

The following example sets up two sessions and sets a maximum number of four out-of-sequence segments for each session:

ss7 session-0 address 255.255.255.251 7000 255.255.255.254 7001

Usage Guidelines

The retransmission timer is used to determine whether a packet must be retransmitted and is initialized each time a data, null, or reset segment is sent. If an acknowledgment for the segment is not received by the time the retransmission timer expires, all segments that have been transmitted—but not acknowledged—are retransmitted.

This value should be greater than the value configured for the cumulative acknowledgment timer by using the ss7 session cumack_t command.

Examples

The following example sets up two sessions and specifies 550 milliseconds as the time to wait for an acknowledgment for each session:

12.1(2)XH

This command was implemented for Cisco MC3810 and for Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers.

12.1(3)T

This command was first supported on the T Train.


Usage Guidelines

This optional command is configured on FXS voice ports that are used to originate on-net calls. The information entered is displayed by the telephone attached to the FXS port at the far end of the on-net call. It can also be configured on the FXO port of a router on which Caller ID information is expected to be received from the CO, to suit situations where a call is placed from the CO, then goes through the FXO interface, and continues to a far-end FXS port through an on-net call. In this case, if no Caller ID information is received from the CO telephone line, the far-end call recipient receives the information configured on the FXO port.


Note This feature applies only to Caller ID name display provided by an FXS port connection to a telephone device. The station name will not be passed through telephone trunk connections supporting Automatic Number Identification (ANI) calls. ANI supplies calling number identification only and does not support calling number names.


Do not use this command when the Caller-ID standard is dual-tone multifrequency (DTMF). DTMF Caller ID can carry only the calling number.

If the station-id or caller-id alerting command is configured on the voice port, these automatically enable Caller-ID, and the caller-id enable command is not necessary.

This command applies to the Cisco MC3810 and to Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers.

Examples

The following example configures a Cisco 2600 or 3600 series router voice port from which Caller-ID information is sent:

voice-port 1/0/1
   cptone US
   station-id name A. Person
   station-id number 4085551111

The following example configures a Cisco MC3810 voice port from which Caller-ID information is sent:

Modification

11.3(1)MA

This command was introduced on Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrators.


Usage Guidelines

This command indicates whether supervisory disconnect signaling is available on the FXO port. Supervisory disconnect signaling is a power denial from the switch lasting at least 350 milliseconds. When this condition is detected, the system interprets this as a disconnect indication from the switch and clears the call.

You should configure no supervisory disconnect on the voice port if there is no supervisory disconnect available from the switch.


Note If there is no disconnect supervision on the voice port, the interface could be left active if the caller abandons the call before the far end answers. After the router collects the dialed digits but before the called party answers, the router starts a tone detector. Within this time window, the tone detector listens for signals (such as a fast busy signal) that occur if the originating caller hangs up. If this occurs, the router will interpret those tones as a disconnect indication and close the window.


Examples

The following example configures supervisory disconnect on a Cisco 3600 series voice port:

voice-port 2/1/0
 supervisory disconnect

The following example configures supervisory disconnect on a Cisco MC3810 multiservice concentrator voice port:

voice-port 1/1
 supervisory disconnect

supervisory disconnect anytone

To configure an Foreign Exchange Office (FXO) voice port to go on-hook if the router detects any tone from a PBX or public switched telephone network (PSTN) before the call is answered, use the supervisory disconnect anytone command in voice-port configuration mode. To restore the default, use the no form of this command.

supervisory disconnect anytone

no supervisory disconnect anytone

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

The supervisory disconnect function is not enabled on voice ports.

Command Modes

Command History

Release
Modification

12.1(3)T

This command was introduced on the Cisco 2600, 3600, and MC3810 series.


Usage Guidelines

The supervisory disconnect anytone voice-port configuration command can be used to provide the disconnect function if the PBX or PSTN does not provide a supervisory tone. This function is enabled only during call setup (before the call is answered); examples of tones that trigger a disconnect include busy tone, fast busy tone, and dial tone. You must enable echo cancellation; otherwise, the router's own ringback tone can trigger a disconnect.

This command replaces the no supervisory disconnect signal command. If you enter the no supervisory disconnect signal command, the supervisory disconnect any-tone feature will be enabled, and "supervisory disconnect" anytone will be displayed when show commands are entered.

Examples

The following example configures voice ports 1/4 and 1/5 to go on-hook if any tone from the PBX or PSTN is detected before the call is answered:

voice-port 1/4
 supervisory disconnect anytone
 exit
voice-port 1/5
 supervisory disconnect anytone
 exit

The following example disables the disconnect function on voice port 1/5:

voice-port 1/5
 no supervisory disconnect anytone
 exit

12.1(3)T

This command was introduced on the Cisco 2600, 3600, and MC3810 series.


Usage Guidelines

You can apply an FXO supervisory disconnect tone voice class to multiple voice ports. You can assign only one FXO supervisory disconnect tone voice class to a voice port. If a second voice class is assigned to a voice port, the second voice class replaces the one previously assigned. You cannot assign separate FXO supervisory disconnect tone commands directly to the voice port.

This feature is applicable to analog FXO voice ports with loop-start signaling.

Examples

The following example assigns voice class 70 to FXO voice port 1/5 of a Cisco MC3810 series concentrator and specifies tone detection during the entire call duration:

voice-port 1/5
 no echo-cancel enable
 supervisory disconnect dualtone mid-call voice-class 70

The following example assigns voice class 80 to FXO voice port 0/1/1 of a Cisco 3600 series router and specifies tone detection only during call setup:

voice-port 0/1/1
 no echo-cancel enable
 supervisory disconnect dualtone pre-connect voice-class 80

12.1(2)T

This command was modified for the OC-3/STM-1 ATM Circuit Emulation Service network module on the Cisco 2600 and 3600 series routers.


Usage Guidelines

The tdm-group command allows specific timeslots to switch from port 0 to port 1 and vice versa. This command is similar to the channel-group command, but it does not create a serial interface to terminate the specified channels.


Note Channel groups, CAS voice groups, and TDM groups all use group numbers. All group numbers configured for channel groups, CAS voice groups, and TDM groups must be unique on the local router. For example, you cannot use the same group number for a channel group and for a TDM group.


Examples

The following example shows TDM group 1 being set up to include timeslots 13 through 20:

controller T1 1
 tdm-group 1 timeslots 13-20

The following example configures TDM group number 20 on controller T1 1 to support FXO ground-start:

controller T1 1
 tdm-group 20 timeslot 20 type fxs ground-start

Modification

11.3(6)NA2

This command was introduced on Cisco 2500 and 3600 series routers.


Usage Guidelines

Technology prefixes are used to distinguish between gateways that have specific capabilities within a given zone. In the exchange between the gateway and the gatekeeper, the technology prefix is used to select a gateway after the zone has been selected. Use the tech-prefix command to define technology prefixes.

Technology prefixes can be used as a discriminator so that the gateway can tell the gatekeeper that a certain technology is associated with a particular call (for example, 15# could mean a fax transmission), or a technology prefix can be used like an area code for more generic routing. No standard defines what the numbers in a technology prefix mean; by convention, technology prefixes are designated by a pound (#) symbol as the last character.

In most cases, there is a dynamic protocol exchange between the gateway and the gatekeeper that enables the gateway to inform the gatekeeper about technology prefixes and where to forward calls. If, for some reason, that dynamic registry feature is not in effect, you can statically configure the gatekeeper to query the gateway for this information by configuring the gw-type-prefix command on the gatekeeper. Use the show gatekeeper gw-type-prefix command to display how the gatekeeper has mapped the technology prefixes to local gateways.


Note Cisco gatekeepers use the asterisk (*) as a reserved character. If you are using Cisco gatekeepers, do not use the asterisk as part of the technology prefix.


Examples

The following example defines a technology prefix of 14# for the specified dial peer. In this example, the technology prefix means that the H.323 gateway will ask the RAS gatekeeper to direct calls using the technology prefix of 14#.

dial-peer voice 10 voip
 destination-pattern 14...
 tech-prefix 14#

12.2(16)

This command was introduced on the following platforms: Cisco 1700 Cisco 1751, Cisco 2600 (with and without the NM-HDA), Cisco 3600 (with and without the NM-HDA), Cisco 7200 (with and without the NM-HDA), Cisco AS5300, Cisco AS5800, and Cisco MC3810.


Usage Guidelines

Cisco voice activity detection (VAD) has two layers: application programming interface (API) layer and processing layer. There are 3 states that the processing layer classifies incoming signals: speech, unknown, and silence. The state of the incoming signals is determined by the noise threshold.

In earlier Cisco IOS Releases, the noise threshold is fixed between -62dB and -78 dB. If the voice level is below the noise threshold, then the signal is classified as silence. If the incoming signal cannot be classified, the variable thresholds that are computed with the statistics of speech and noise that VAD gathers is used to make a determination. If the signal still cannot be classified, then it is marked as unknown. The final decision is made by the API. For applications such as hoot-n-holler, you could have the noise create unwanted spurious packets (for example, a voice stream) taking up bandwidth.

With Cisco IOS Release 12.2(16), the noise threshold is configurable using the threshold noise command.

Examples

The following sample configuration shows a noise threshold level of -50 dB configured on a Cisco 3600:

voice-port 1/0/0
 threshold noise -50
